He was a whistleblower at a time when whistleblowing would have meant his job and his career.

Even now with all of the protections, it's not a really good idea to be a whistleblower.

Cut him some slack.

Besides Nixon was a liberal scumbag that gave us price controls, relations with commie China, the beginning of the end of Taiwan, Medicare, and other inane and socialistic nonsense.

It is my understanding that Felt was convicted of having something to do with illegal break-ins of political enemies long after Watergate happened. What was he blowing the whistle at?

Granted, Reagan pardoned him.

You have forgotten we are not supposed to acknowledge Nixon's flaws. He was a saint don't you know.

How did Nixon get Medicare enacted 3 years before he was elected?

Felt was leaking because Nixon didn't appoint him to replace Hoover at FBI.

Some "whistle blower"...
